Who here has ever taken a 3-6 months sabbatical from work?
There are a few questions I would like to ask you about your thought process & experience.

@lauranissen I love this but the "judge cat" just beats it for me! 😂

It's taken me nearly a whole day just to draw the number 4 for my latest font 🤦♂️

@Ian_Barnard @slavkrivonos I think you might be being trolled. Suuurely just a little bit
English
@slavkrivonos What do you mean by "more correct"? What are your suggestions?

@WeirdoWizard @renderandwrite He's welcome. I have some time right now and I hate to see people trying to open a door, when often it's easy to hand over the keys once you've used them.
English
@MrLowdon @renderandwrite Thanks for volunteering with your time, Ben!

Stuck at the Doha airport for layover. AMA until they open the damn gates.
I can answer questions about design, side projects, newsletter, leadership, life, etc.

@Nnedi I haven't seen this in 20 years and still know all the songs. Such a good movie!

Am I the only one who has random urges to watch the film Little Shop of Horrors? It’s happening again, lol. The soundtrack is soooooo good, 😁.

Things that stressed the fuck out of me while living in Berlin.

My bf went to a new doctor today and made sure they spoke English. When he arrived the doctor would only communicate in German and after 5 min trying to communicate, she switched to English and asked why he hasn't learned German after living here for 2 years. I am so disgusted.

@renderandwrite @WeirdoWizard Hey Rajkumar, if you want some feedback on your folio, I am on sabbatical, so happy to give you some tips on what you might do to improve your hireability
English
@WeirdoWizard What to do when you can't get a job? I mean what if every interview leads you to a dead end or no response just because of a career gap?

@_powellben That's a conversation for a beer Ben. DM me if you want a chat :)

I've been a designer for 12 years, and for a long time I believed that confidence would come with experience. That hasn't been true, and I still lack confidence at times. Detaching self-worth from work is a lifelong journey.
English
@aakashkumar @WeirdoWizard I would argue that anyone (yes, even your PM) can learn to create better prompts. However curation will still be needed. Just less people needed to product variants
English
@WeirdoWizard I still feel experts will always be relevant, what will happen is the tool changes, and you still need an expert to work with the tools.

AI is replacing graphic design jobs.
This is disheartening but also inevitable. My two cents on this topic ↓

Microsoft's $1B 2019 investment in OpenAI could soon pay off, as it is planning to incorporate #AI chatbot tech to help users of Word and other apps to write stretches of text for documents. appleinsider.com/articles/23/01…

@yanatweets @deutschetelekom @TMobile I was recently thinking that I would be very apprehensive about hiring anyone senior from these types of orgs. I mean what have you done? Why can I often not even replace a password 🙆♂️
English
@yanatweets I'd vote for any of the incumbent telecoms/ energy/ utility customer portals. Good luck even logging into any of those! Hi @deutschetelekom @TMobile 👋

Alright PMs: what's the worst product on the internet?
With recency bias, I'd say Twitter ads manager.
Bad products make me furious 🤬

@TfTHacker @LastPass @1Password @Bitwarden I really like 1password. Lastpass UX has been a disaster for a few years now
English
I have been a @LastPass user for years, and I am sad to see the company where it is today.
I am evaluating @1Password and @Bitwarden. Leaning towards 1Password just because I like their encryption model better.
Advice? Are there any new year 1Password discounts out there?

Hello please help Lawrence and I settle a debate about one of Evie’s books:
What animal is this?

@uxdesigncc Sooo many odd answers to this question in this thread. But if I was hiring and saw that anyone had written "me" as their answer, it would be a red flag. You cannot have seen or experienced enough design working and still have this kind of hubris
